“Our dogs LOVE Samantha! They were so excited to see her and spend time with her. She stayed at our house for 2 nights and made sure the dogs were safe and happy. Would definitely recommend!”
“Alessandra was a wonderful house guest and sitter. She looked after both our dogs and home, very clean and both pups loved her. Would highly recommend her for pet sitting, will be rebooking in the near future.”
“Susi took care of all of my animals - cat, pigs, and guinea pigs. It was a lot of work over a long period of time, but all my fur babies were well taken care of. I got tons of pictures when I was away and they were all great. I would definitely have Susi take care of my pets if I go away again”
“Vanessa, thank you so, so much for taking great care of our pup. This was our first long time away from him and we’re as happy to see him as he is to see us. Thanks for all the great communication along the way.”
“Sierra stayed at my apartment in the BX to watch my 45lb rescue pittie for three weeks in May, and I highly recommend her! She was responsive and so generous coming all the way from NJ to meet my pup and me first and incredibly responsive before the day of. Every day she sent me text and/photo updates, and it was super clear my pup was very well cared for and loved. Coming back, pup was happy and healthy and the apartment was clean as I left it (thanks, Sierra!).”
“JJ was awesome with our pets. Lots of love and attention for our dog and cat plus the house was taken care of. Will definitely book again on our next trip. Thanks JJ for all your help!”
“Nagham was a total delight! Exceptionally professional, warm and caring with our dog, and left our home sparkling clean. She went above and beyond on communication, photos, detailed updates and even gave our dog a bath. I feel truly lucky to have found her. Very highly recommend her. Thanks Nagham!”
“Destiny was fantastic with our 2 kitties. This was the first time we left them and she did a great job keeping us updated with texts and videos. I highly recommend her if you want someone friendly and knowledgeable.”
“Calli was great and did everything as instructed, she was our first experience with Rover and did great with our two dogs and cat. It was great to enjoy vacation without worrying about our pets with Calli there watching them.”
“Words cannot express how grateful I am to Chloe for the excellent care she took of our cat Callie. As soon as I hired and met Chloe, I was immensely relieved to know that she’s extremely responsible, caring, loving, and attentive to both our needs and Callie’s needs. Chloe was also very communicative with us, which we really appreciated, often texting us pictures and videos so we felt connected with what was going on at home and how Callie was doing while we were away. I highly recommend Chloe, she is a gem and we will be hiring her for all our cat sitting/home sitting needs in the future! Thank you, Chloe!”
“Went away for a week. Maximilian puts the effort in to make our pups feel comfortable. He also communicates well and is quick to respond where needed. No complaints here, will book again.”
“Kelsey was great with our Goldendoodle! This was our first time using Rover and she came to meet Brodie the week before we went away. While we were away, she kept us updated with photos and took great care of him for two nights. We would book with her again and highly recommend to anyone looking.”
“Brad was really great with our dog Mooney! He gave daily updates and communicated very efficiently. We felt at ease knowing Brad was taking care of Mooney. Would highly recommend!”
“Berenice did such a great job taking care of our puppy and home for 2 weeks, we felt lucky to have found her. She sent pictures every day giving updates on our pup, making us feel at ease for leaving our pup for so long. We will definitely be reaching out again for future trips. Thanks Berry!”
About: Hello, I am Sofia! I am currently completing my MS in Conservation Medicine at Tufts University! I have experience working as a veterinary technician with both dogs and cats of all different sizes and temperaments. I also have 10+ years experience working with over 20 different animal species, including some as large as camels and cows! I LOVE animals and am very kind, patient, attentive, and detail-oriented. I am currently completing remote work for my Master's degree, so I have ample time and flexibility!! I am available 7 days/week, any time of day. I strictly follow your house rules, ensure all doors and windows lock securely, and keep your key with you at all times. I do a perimeter check of fence gates before letting pets outside and keep counters clear of food or hazards. I maintain your pet's exact feeding and exercise routine to reduce anxiety and send daily photo updates so you have complete peace of mind.
About: I’m a past doggie daycare worker and have lots of experience taking care of small, medium, and large sized dogs. I love them as if they’re my own children - I have experience with senior care (giving medication, paying attention to their eating habits, doing whatever I can to make their experience the most comfortable). If you have any questions feel free to reach out! I'm only working part-time so I have lots of time to spend with your doggies! I'm available most days, just reach out and we can chat on what works best for you. :) When I go to your home, I can guarantee I will treat your dog with the utmost respect, and spend time and care for your pet as if they were my own.
“Skye was very good with Mochi and took him out to the dog park which he loved. He keep him out and safe for a couple of hours which allowed him to get tired out in a safe and exciting way”
“Doechii "hanging" with Ivy. She was kind, full of patience, respectful, and super friendly. She watched my dog for 10 days while I went out of the country. I felt confident that my pet was being taken care of and didn't ever worry about her wellbeing while being far away. She was super respectful of my home and sent me pictures often. I will definitely be booking her again!!! Doechii and I are so glad that we met her.”
“Zoe took care of our baby girl for almost 2 weeks and she was a pleasure. She responded quickly and sent lots of pictures. I swear she left our house cleaner than she even found it!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Hancock
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 18,342 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Hancock. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fort Hancock walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fort Hancock maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fort Hancock choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
